No more need to sacrifice your rights for others

If you are someone who follows the ideals of the 19th and 20th centuries, you would be taught from childhood how sacrificing your rights and needs for others helps you be known as a good human being. In school, colleges, and at home, seniors always preach that we need to give up our wishes so that others can live well. If we are thinking only about our well-being then we were told how selfish and uncaring we are. We were taught that as a good daughter, good son of the house, we need to tolerate everything and take responsibility for everyone by sacrificing our own wishes.

The main reason behind such sacrificial thinking and teaching was because before the 2000s, every middle-income household only had the capacity to accommodate only the basic needs like one television, one fridge, one liter of milk for a family of 4, grocery and vegetables were brought with a count of how many people eat how much and were served only that much that was made.

The first two decades of the 21st century saw the middle-income households raising their bar by having better-paying jobs and excess of what was earlier not even been able to afford. I cannot say this is applicable for all middle-income households but the majority of the families that I came across have upgraded themselves from 1BHK homes to 2BHK homes and their children are either living abroad for work purposes or working in some good cities. 

In the growing-up years, where I was taught that sacrificing is the need of the hour in the olden days to learning that self-care is the most important virtue to find ultimate success in life. I really was someone who always put everyone’s wishes on the first to be accepted by everyone and get the blessings or affection from others of being a “good girl”. But eventually, this made me a depressed woman as I grew up and now I totally realize the importance of self-care and knowing our rights to deal with the 21st-century problems and adventure of life.
